Here is my secret: I don't mind what happens.

Jiddu Krishnamurti
Freedom, Inspire, Mind

Meditation is not the pursuit of pleasure and the search for happiness. Meditation, on the contrary, is a state of mind in which there is no concept or formula, and therefore total freedom. It is only to such a mind that this bliss comes unsought and uninvited. Once it is there, though you may live in the world with all its noise, pleasure and brutality, they will not touch that mind.

Happiness, Freedom, Meditation
Jiddu Krishnamurti (2001). “Freedom, Love, and Action”, p.60, Shambhala Publications

Jiddu Krishnamurti
Freedom, Ends
Jiddu Krishnamurti (2013). “The first and last freedom”, p.226, Rajpal & Sons

I have only one purpose: to make people free, to urge them towards freedom, to help them to break away from all limitations, for that alone will give them eternal happiness, will give them the unconditional realization of Self.

Freedom, Self, People
